5.0 out of 5 stars Love this mix! August 27, 2009

By Mrs. W

I like to mix up my workouts and this workout fits the bill. If you do them all together you get a total body kick butt mix of a variety of exercises. This would also be a nice add on to do one or a few after a short workout or if you are pressed for time. It is true that each section is only 10 minutes, but there is no time wasted. The Cardio Kickboxing section is a heart pumping mix of kicks and punches with other cardio moves thrown in. Fat Blasting Intervals is a fun and effective mix of cardio and toning. There is nothing traditional about Belly Fat Burner, not a traditional crunch to be seen (or done) and I can really feel the work as I am doing it and the burn afterwards. Lean Body Sculpt is challenging since it requires you to balance in many of the moves and to utilize both the upper and lower body at the same time. I found the workouts to be fun, well cued, and the time flew. Amy Bento is a fantastic instructor (as a side point, the other 10 Minute Solution workouts she has instructed are awesome, too). She is motivating, reassuring and is easy to follow. I hope she continues to be featured in the 10 Minute Solution workouts. This collection or workouts is an asset to my exercise DVD library!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, UNIQUE Workout! January 30, 2010

I'm the self-proclaimed exercise DVD junkie. I have two little ones and prefer getting up early to work out at home rather than dragging me and my kids to the gym. I have a huge arsenal of DVD's, many of which I watched once and thought they were awful, and never returned to them. I have a handful of tried and true videos that keep me motivated to work out 7 days per week. This will definitely make the 7 day list for me! To be honest, I just did this for the first time today and only did the abs portion, the cardio/weight portion and the lean muscle portion. I work out 7 days per week and THIS MADE ME SWEAT! The best part about the sections I did today was the abs workout. I have NEVER seen any of these moves. She kept it new and effective and definitely kept my interest. Loved the music and the cuing was pretty good as well. If you like short condensed work-outs to work various sections and change up your daily routine without any boredom...this is for you. Great video to me!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok but... June 24, 2010

By M. Warren

I heard great things about Amy Bento which is why I decided to give this DVD a shot. I will hold onto it, I like some of the workouts on this DVD, but I was somewhat disappointed.

Pros:
-I like the abs workout-it really BURNS and it's nice to do something other than plain ol' crunches. I felt it after the 10 minutes were up.
-If I want a warmup for more cardio I enjoy the kickboxing workout. It's not intense, but it is simple choreography and a good way to wake up the body before more intense cardio.
-The power yoga is great for a quickie if you want to slip some yoga in your day.

cons:
The circuit training/intervals workout was not enjoyable for me. The cardio bursts got my heart rate up, but the weight sections just didn't feel like I was working anything, regardless of how much weight I used.
Same thing with the sculpting section.
The kickboxing is not enough to really feel like a cardio workout.
On the abs section, some of the standing exercises have too few reps and I felt that the one exercise where you mimick a kettlebell swing with your weight did not have enough instruction or explain how it would be beneficial, seemed pointless to me.

I'll hold onto it for the pros above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! November 26, 2009

By N. Devgan

I am an intermediate level exerciser & try to work out atleast 5times a week at home. And this DVD is certainly a great addition to my library. The moves in all the segments are new & makes working out more effective.
My favorite is the Belly Fat Blaster bcoz I hate working my abs lying down & Amy had new moves to work your abs in a standing position.
Highly Recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not challenging enough for me February 15, 2011

By R. Clark

I love the 10 minute solution series because it fits perfectly into my day. I love that I can pick and choose which workouts to do and that every day is different. I have a whole collection, and since the old ones weren't making me sweat anymore, I went out looking for some new ones. This one looked good and I liked the idea that it had a 'power yoga' workout. I LOVE yoga and needed something that challenged me more.
I don't like this DVD because it doesn't challenge me. Some of the workouts I get a good sweat worked up, but the power yoga is a very simple routine that I could do in my sleep. I think this is probably a great routine for someone who is a beginner and wants a simple work out. It just wasn't right for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough, but... May 20, 2010

By BMJ

I have to be in the mood to workout to Amy Bento. She's a little too cutesy, which translates to her moves as well. The intervals, sculpt, and ab workouts are all very good, and her moves are rather innovative, but there's something about her that... Well, let's just say I can only take her in small doses. And watch out with the kickboxing. If you're into REAL hardcore kickboxing, this will be a huge disappointment. I didn't end up sweating very much, and it was more frustrating than anything else. She tries too hard to incorporate everything in such a short period of time that it would make followers, even those who are intermediate or advanced, susceptible to overexertion and even injury.
